Tool
The Pot
10,000 Days

I am about 99% sure the intro is correct. The key is to get the timing
right.
When I play it along with the song and with my band it sounds perfect.

0:10
Intro:
G[----5----7----5-----------5----8---5-----8--5-]
D[-0---7-0----0--7-0-0--0-0--7-0---0---7-0---0--]x6
A[----------------------------------------------]
D[----------------------------------------------]
pm: * * * *

There has been some question to whether the intro riff is played
in this position or all on the D string near the 10th and 12th frets.
If you prefer to play it this way, the TAB is:

G[--------------------------------------------------------------]
D[-0--10-7-0-12--0-10-7-0-0--0--0-10-7-0-13--0-10-7-0-13--0-12--]

Thats it. Its a very fun song but its pretty tricky. The hardest part
Is the timing in the intro. Im pretty sure this whole tab is right
except for
the part at 4:12. Please Rate!

This may not be the exact way Tool Bassist Justin Chancellor plays it. I tabbed
it by pitch/the notes. (So it sounds the same.)

ok let me try this again.

Good tab...and I personally like playing it with a slap-n-pop feel, with the verse riff.

As for the 4:12 part, instead try this:

4:12
G[------------------------]
D[----------7-------------]x4
A[--5-0H5H7-------8---7---]
D[0-----------0-8---0---8-]

Sounds close to me, but I stand corrected...

hey MxMave... you do know maynard had a part of RATM's first CD... he was also quite vocal about voting out George Bush during APC's last tour... his political leanings are clear... that being said, who else loves the bass on this song... justin really stepped it up on this album...

Rock Hawk has it right. The pot calling the Kettle black. Its all about hypocrisy. specifics: Black Kettle = Chief of the Southern Cheyenne (also listen to the following song) Kangaroo = the kangaroo court in Gitmo Muddy waters = Oil (raising the dead)? / Katrina (actual muddy waters)? "Who are you to wave your finger? So full of it."

WIKIPEDIA Skepticism that 10,000 Days is the actual title has become void since the album has already been released in some European countries.
